ZeroChroma - Folio Slide Case for Apple® iPad® Air - Gray/Black

I had a complicated cover with a keyboard which eventually became unusable due to wear and tear even though i didn't really use the keyboard often. I needed a basic cover and found this on clearance. Great for what I need.

waited a long time to buy a case for the iPad. I wanted something functional without too much added bulk or weight. This case provides adequate protection for day to day use; I haven't (and wouldn't drop it to test whether it works, but seems to protect it from day to day bumps and dirt. The back cover includes a rotating flip-out stand which allows it to be stood up at various angles in both portrait and landscape orientations and the slight bump-out for the rotating mechanism provides a hand-hold of sorts. The flip-out stand can be used for a more secure hold. The cloth cover, which also activated the instant on, covers the screen when not in use, and provides added protection for transportation. The cloth is nothing special, and occasionally loses a thread; should have been sealed with glue or heat, but not a big deal. The only annoying drawback is that the cover interferes with using the camera, making an already awkward camera a little more difficult to use (Noet: I am a SLR guy).

This case is great for someone who doesn't need anything fancy or bulky. It adds enough protection to avoid a broken screen without adding a lot of additional weight or size. There is a pop out stand on the back which is very helpful if you want to prop up the device on a table while watching a video or movie. The face cover is removable, so you don't need to leave that on unless you actually want it there. We plan to use the removable face cover only when traveling or packing the iPad into a backpack/briefcase.

Good and not so good. The swivel doesn't catch at certain positions, but when it does, it functions well. We use it for handheld purposes when having FaceTime, works well enough but could be a little easier to handle. Hard to put on but secure. Cover stains easily (I have a toddler). Be careful when is talking, it's a tight fit and will push up a glass Zagg protector if not I stalled correctly (the case, not the screen film). Haven't tried the headrest mount but am excited for the next opportunity to do so.

Just got this so haven't used it much yet, but it's light, functional and was a good price on sale.

This case is lightweight but protects well and the stand works great

One of the most functional cases for iPad Air. I normally don't like plastic "rotating" pieces but this does it very well allowing the the iPad to stay up at any angle and either in portrait or landscape. It's been a month and it's not flimsy at all and holding up well. It's design still maintains an relatively THIN profile. Exactly what I was looking for. The material is higher quality and I love that it wraps around the iPad perfectly! The cover itself is durable as well. I was a little sketchy on the piece that allows you to remove the cover from the case but it also seems durable. Being able to remove it allows you to fully use the 360 degree stand. The stand also doubles as a piece to hold on to when holding the iPad with one hand. Buy it on sale or with a rewards certificate as it is a bit pricey for a case.

This case replaced another, flimsier case that we purchased. Great quality, very versatile. Being able to slide the cover out and use the kickstand feature made it a winner with our kids. Has been dropped several times by aforementioned kids and iPad is still intact. We really like this case!
